American Idol Shakeup: Kara Out, Jennifer Lopez And Steven Tyler In!

jenniferstevenamericanidol.jpg

The drama over the Idol judging panel reached a fever pitch this week, when Ellen Degeneres announced she was quitting American Idol, and now new reports claim that judge Kara DioGuardi has been fired and that the seats left vacant by Cowell, Degeneres and DioGuardi will be filled by Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler!

Deadline Hollywood reports that Jennifer Lopez has signed a contract this week to take over after Ellen bowed out, saying "it hasn't been fun." Although this is quite the surprise, we think Lopez, who has experience as triple-threat performer, singing, acting AND dancing, is a brilliant replacement!

But possibly even more shocking is the announcement that after everyone from Elton John to Justin Timberlake has been mentioned to take over for Simon Cowell, the frontrunner now seems to be Aerosmith's Steven Tyler!

Hmmm... not quite sure how that will work out but we're hopeful.

Poor Kara, whose contract was year-to-year, was not renewed, according to reports.

So that makes the panel a threesome again, with Randy, Jennifer and Steven? We'll def be tuning in to see how that works out!



OMG, so much craziness!

Jennifer Lopez is a joke. The show won't succeed if she's on it. Jessica Simpson was a better fit.

Jessica Simpson isn't a better for anything in this world except for a double quarter pounder with cheese.

Jennifer Lopez actually had memorable hits all Jessica had was her tits...

Jennifer Lopez looks fabulous and she would make a great addition to the show.

People who don't have talent should not judge talent (hint: Jenny not from the block)

That's a very pretty dress.

J Lo is officially a Haves Been.
Her movie Back up plan bombed.
Her Record Company dumped her.
Her album has been pushed back once again.

Randy should leave too.. than Lindsay
can come in as a judge.. what a way
for a comeback for Lindsay..same thing
right or Glen Frey from the Eagles would
be great too or Huey Lewis.. since the
old age home is coming out for Randy
or one of the Jackson's you know any
of them would take the job..!!

Kara got out at a good time..man if you
are bring in Jlo and Steve Tyler ..might
as well fire Randy too..!! he can always
create his own show.!!

I think Jermaine jackson would be a great replacement for Randy (although I don't resent him as a judge) I'm indifferent to Randy.

The ship is sinking on this show. Anyone who jumps in is obviously desperate for either $ or face time.

The show's ONLY CHANCE, you best get off your ass and call PAULA.

Jennifer is the perfect fit, she alone will bring in the ratings.
Tyler has to many alcohol and drug problems.
Ellen and Kara were a big mistake.

Jlo has oddles of charisma, she can do it by herself.

Ellen and Kara ruined the ratings.

Why would they replace Ellen with a PuertoRican gorilla like JLO. Puertos know nothing about music and if you think that show stinks now just wait until this old, ugly, fat, has-been appears on the show. Americans don't take too keenly to S.P.I.C.S being on english speaking programs. This thing needs to stay at home with her SPICLETTS!

They should have hired Jessica Simpson she is way more talented and prettier than that dirt JLO! Or better yet, bring Paula back because no one wants to see a bleached Puerto illegal alien on American Idol. J-LOWER THAN DIRT is a joke in the music industry. Puertos know nothing about music only that crappy Salsa that no one likes but them.

jennifer lopez is a good pick for the judges panel, so it steven tyler. i am glad that ellen is out because she was not a good fit and always looked uncomfortable and awkward. cara was just plain annoying - she was a no-it-all and the show will do much better without her.

Puerto Ricans are not illegal aliens for you information. It's really sad how racism is still alive and well in the year 2010. Jennifer Lopez is a very successful woman. Get used it seeing Latino's in Hollywood we are just getting started. Spanish is the second most used language in the US please educate yourself before putting such racist comments up the term spic is no longer used either just like you wouldnt say the N word. GET WITH THE PROGRAM. I hope God blessed your cold heart with wisdom to see the world differently. May God Bless Jesus Loves U

Jlo is perfect.
I can finally watch again.
kara and ellen were awful mistakes and randy should get canned to.



Posted by: may

Jennifer Lopez WILL make a GREAT Judge on American Idol! She is Smart,Beautiful,Caring and Defitnetly TaLenTed!!! Her attitude & charisma just lights up the room! This is a very good move IdoL made in bringing in Lopez
As for Tyler.... Well im not really sure about that one, im like 50/50 on this one... I'll just have to wait see! So J-Lo HateRs, STOP Hating!!!

Ellen and Kara just ruined the show for me.
Firing them both is definitely a great move for the ratings.

Jenny tyler and connick yes yes and yes.

But will tyler be sober and coherent?



Posted by: Anonymous

Can anybody think of a better choice than Jenny Lopez, I think she is perfect and she seems to be able to do it all.



Posted by: Anonymous

this show is so gonna die miserably..

kara was a bitch on the show i can't stand her

ellen was blah..

simon - paula - randy was a great combination no matter how dysfunctional paula was

now, no simon... yeah... the show is gonna die definitely...

J-lo has had great hits, sure, but can anyone actually say that she's a good enough singer to JUDGE other people's singing??



Posted by: Anonymous

I don't recall Simon carrying a tune or kara or ellen or randy or paula, none of them can sing and they were judges.



Posted by: Kim

J-Lo can't sing and has no talent. She hasn't had a hit in ages and she hasn't had any experience on judging a talent show. That alone speak volumes. At least Simon, Kara, Paula and Randy knows what talent looks like. J-Lo on the other hand is full of herself and her advice wouldn't be useful at all.

kim poor kim, you have JLo dereangement syndrome (JDS), it's very common among showbiz women.



Posted by: Anonymous

Ellen and Kara were horrible mistakes.... time for fresh blood.
Lopez and Tyler is a good start both are mega stars.



Posted by: Anonymous

Done with American Idol......J-Lo is the last straw.



Posted by: Anonymous

yAY FOR JLO . nO TO TYLER



Posted by: Anonymous

Jennifer and Steven are both awesome choices,because, duh, music is their profession. Ellen is a comedian and t.v show host - what was she doing there in the first place!



Posted by: Anonymous

Listen you racist,low lifes who think that just because we are hispanic we are spics. you know what may god have mercy on your uneducated soul,its a wonder you even posted something,since computers are modern.obviously youre living in the old times,where THE WHITES CAME AND TOOK THE LAND FROM THE NATIVES THINKING THEYRE BETTER. YOU ARE IMMIGRANTS TOO. SO SHUTUP AND READ SOME HISTORY BOOKS AND LEARN YOU PIECE OF TRASH.Besides J-Lo can sing,dance, and act. triple threat. And how dare you call her children spicletts???What did the kids ever do to you?!I hope you get pelted with stones you heartless jerk.

Paula was a train wreck.
Ellen and Kara were awful, so glad they got fired.
